Or you could report it to NTL in case they want to act on it.

No point, unless it has come from an ntl IP address other than their MTA's, and if that's the case fill out a report here
It will be virus related, and the infected ntl subscriber will need to know about it. Using that form will enable ntl's AUP team o investigate the IP address and contact the infected customer.

Re: Spoof e-mail
